Yugoslavia was a "special case". This was only a "country" because of the "iron hand" of Tito. This place - the "Balkan" - it was the crossroads of East vs. West - Slav vs. Muslim - and even orthodox vs. catholic vs. Islam. This place has been the foment of war in Europe. The only thing that made that collection of Croatia Serbia, and the rest WAS the AUTHORITARIAN regime of Tito. As soon as he died - the inevitable troubles began.

Typical Russian.

I always like that "old Soviet saying" - that "history is never set".

Yup - you Putin robots certainly fit the mold - and you are to be feared - because you are all intelligent, talented, and seem to be brainwashed like a herd of korova.

Don't any of you "modern" Russian's remember Viktor Tsoy? Perhaps you should listen to his songs again. I would point out "печаль".

I want to say here - that I am married to a Ukrainian woman for 12 years. I have "inherited" her children and have brought them here to America - I have treated them all well. I have taken the "Russian view" in politics on many occasions - but now I have grave doubts.

Why? Because of what I see happening in Russia now - the absorption of the media by the state run Gazprom. The people are "fed" a single lunch everyday - they have no informed choices - and if they demand t - they are fined much more than they can pay.

That is what I see - and being the old "cold warrior" that I am I am glad we have many missiles pointed towards Russia and have changed my mind again to believe that Russia is truly the enemy of freedom - because their people are Korova that subjugate themselves to an authoritarian regime that will be to the detriment on mankind.
Ok, we get it. You don't like Russians.
Is there any valid point in this stream of consciousness? Like, on topic?
